My hearing has always tested as fine. I like some visual art, although I'm well below average in this. I do get pleasure in seeing beautiful things. I've never experienced music as beautiful and to my mind music being beautiful seems like a category error.

Do you enjoy movies? Does the background score seem distracting?

Yes and I do dislike background scores.

My guess is that you just don't make an emotional connection to music. It's possible that moving to music would eventually make a connection, but this is a very tentative guess.

Can you tell people's emotional state from their voices?
